"Sones de México and the Irish Music School of Chicago tribute to Los San Patricios"

“As Juan Díes, co-founder of Sones de México and one of the driving forces behind the San Patricio concert explains, the project emerged from a collaboration with Cleland and his band at the time a few years back, when they played together as part of an event related to “The Irish Soldiers of Mexico” by Michael Hogan, and then later on were invited to play together in many of Mayor Daley’s events in efforts to bring together the Irish and Mexican communities in Chicago.

At some point, the musical friendship between Cleland and Sones continued to evolve and came to include participations by Sones in the Celtic Festival and conversely, Cleland’s being featured in some songs in Sones’ album Fandango on 18th Street. The artists come together to give witness to the gifts of two immigrant communities who today, in a city so far from their homeland, shape Chicago anew in the beauty of music and art.” - Catalina Maria Johnson, Beat Latino
